Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bearish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices dropped.

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction ANR $-0.240 -7.10% 5,364,104 38.48% 4,124,819 29.59% 1,239,285 Abnormal CMCSA $-0.240 -0.42% 9,632,165 66.11% 4,262,835 29.26% 5,369,330 Abnormal COG $-0.560 -1.66% 2,285,800 39.40% 1,389,258 23.95% 896,542 Abnormal DVN $-0.010 -0.01% 3,321,707 57.63% 805,634 13.98% 2,516,073 Abnormal WMB $-0.560 -0.98% 2,131,300 37.36% 1,286,331 22.55% 844,969 Abnormal VHC $-2.370 -31.10% 8,492,522 35.62% 7,671,893 32.17% 820,629 Abnormal Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Thursday and their stock prices dropped. The Friction Factor displays how many more shares of buying than selling are required to move a stock higher by one cent or how many more shares of selling than buying moves a stock lower by 1 cent.

For example, the chart above shows ANR with 1,239,285 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.24000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more buying than selling should cause prices to rise.
